ibs SPACE PLANNING
After selecting the optimal product assortment for each store or group of stores, retailers need to place the product on the shelf where customers may have easy access to it, and to make sure that there are enough products on the shelf to meet customer demand.

In this regard, retailers require information about store layout, fixtures, products and sales in an integrated manner in order to produce distribution scenarios that match customer shopping behavior while reducing the time required for managing the shelves.

The management of store layout and fixtures (store plan), and the management of products on these fixtures (planograms) are the two fundamental activities necessary for merchandising products in the store. Space Management optimizes the balance between the organization's image, merchandising rules and customer behavior - in order to make the shopping experience more attractive and enjoyable, and achieve higher sales figures.
Various analyses such as the comparison of item performances within a category, the allocation of shelf space, the analysis of rotation rate and return on investment are necessary for ensuring a profitable merchandising plan. Moreover, a 3-D graphic rendering of the store and fixtures allows verifying compliance with standards.
